Potentization

Its hydrochloride is prepared by heating morphine with hydrochloric acid under pressure. It is a potent emetic. 

A potent carcinogen, it is now little used for dyestuffs for cotton. Still used for blood detection. 

CH2CI-CO-CH3. Colourless lachrymatory liquid b.p. 119°C. Manufactured by treating propanone with bleaching powder or chlorine. It is used as a tear gas and is usually mixed with the more potent bromoacetone. chloro acids Complex chloroanions are formed by most elements of the periodic table by solution of oxides or chlorides in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Potassium salts are precipitated from solution when potassium chloride is added to a solution of the chloro acid, the free acids are generally unstable. 

Chloroform is a potent volatile anaesthetic, but is little used due to its potential hepato-toxicity. It is used principally for the manufacture of chlorofluorohydrocarbon refrigerants ( Arctons and Freons ) and certain polymers. 

Crystalline solid m.p. 35-36 "C, b.p. 154--156 C, prepared by oxidizing A,A -dicycIo-hexylthiourea with HgO in carbon disulphide solution, also obtained from cyclohexylamine and phosgene at elevated temperatures. Used as a mild dehydrating agent, especially in the synthesis of p>eptides from amino-acids. Potent skin irritant. 

I-Naphthylamine readily diazotizes and couples to aromatic hydroxylic or basic compounds. It was thus used as a first component in a number of important monoazo dyes, but its use has been severely curtailed because of its potent carcinogenicity. It sulphonates to give naphthionic acid (l-naphthylamine-4-sul-phonic acid). 

C10H10N4O2S. White powder, which darkens on exposure to light m.p. 255-256 C. Prepared by condensing p-acet-amidobenzenesulphonyl chloride with 2-aminopyrimidine and subsequent hydrolysis. Soluble sulphadiazine is the sodium salt. Sulphadiazine is the least toxic of the more potent sulphonamides. ... 

Zhang and co-workers worked on the structure-based, computer-assisted search for low molecular weight, non-peptidic protein tyrosine phosphate IB (PTPIB) inhibitors, also using the DOCK methodology [89], They identified several potent and selective PTPIB inhibitors by saeening the ACD. 

Add the Boltzmann factor to the accumulated sum of Boltzmann factors and the potent energy contribution to its accumulated sum and return to step 1. 

An impressive example of the application of structure-based methods was the design of a inhibitor of the HIV protease by a group of scientists at DuPont Merck [Lam et al. 1994 This enzyme is crucial to the replication of the HIV virus, and inhibitors have bee shown to have therapeutic value as components of anti-AIDS treatment regimes. The star1 ing point for their work was a series of X-ray crystal structures of the enzyme with number of inhibitors boimd. Their objective was to discover potent, novel leads whid were orally available. Many of the previously reported inhibitors of this enzyme possessei substantial peptide character, and so were biologically unstable, poorly absorbed am rapidly metabolised.

It turned out that the dodecylsulfate surfactants Co(DS)i Ni(DS)2, Cu(DS)2 and Zn(DS)2 containing catalytically active counterions are extremely potent catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction between 5.1 and 5.2 (see Scheme 5.1). The physical properties of these micelles have been described in the literature and a small number of catalytic studies have been reported. The influence of Cu(DS)2 micelles on the kinetics of quenching of a photoexcited species has been investigated. Interestingly, Kobayashi recently employed surfactants in scandium triflate catalysed aldol reactions". Robinson et al. have demonshuted that the interaction between metal ions and ligand at the surface of dodecylsulfate micelles can be extremely efficient. ... 

It has long been known that, amongst organic solvents, acetic anhydride is particularly potent in nitration, and that reaction can be brought about under relatively mild conditions. For these reasons, and because aromatic compounds are easily soluble in mixtures of nitric acid and the solvent, these media have achieved considerable importance in quantitative studies of nitration. 

Strike can t believe Strike can actually quote Strike s own book. That is so freaky )]. Most of these things will make amphetamines that are much more potent than X. It is also possible to play around with some of the little side groups on these to eventually make X or some other interesting psychotomimetics. With few exceptions these precursors are all substituted allylbenzenes just like safrole. They are all found in the same kind of legal oils and sold in the same kinds of places as sassafras. Finally, these precursors are turned into their own respective amphetamines using the exact same conversion recipes used for safrole.

N Nitroso amines are more often called nitrosamines and because many of them are potent carcinogens they have been the object of much investigation We encounter nitrosamines m the environment on a daily basis A few of these all of which are known carcinogens are... 

A major concern when remediating wood-treatment sites is that pentachlorophenol was often used in combination with metal salts, and these compounds, such as chromated copper—arsenate, are potent inhibitors of at least some pentachlorophenol degrading organisms (49). Sites with significant levels of such inorganics may not be suitable candidates for bioremediation. 

Carbamates such as Aldicarb undergo degradation under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Indeed the oxidation of the sulfur moiety to the sulfoxide and sulfone is part of the activation of the compound to its most potent form. Subsequent aerobic metaboHsm can completely mineralize the compound, although this process is usually relatively slow so that it is an effective iasecticide, acaricide and nematocide. Anaerobically these compounds are hydrolyzed, and then mineralized by methanogens (61). 

Acylated Corticoids. The corticoid side-chain of (30) was converted iato the cycHc ortho ester (96) by reaction with a lower alkyl ortho ester RC(OR )2 iu benzene solution ia the presence of i ra-toluenesulfonic acid (88). Acid hydrolysis of the product at room temperature led to the formation of the 17-monoesters (97) ia nearly quantitative yield. The 17-monoesters (97) underwent acyl migration to the 21-monoesters (98) on careful heating with. In this way, prednisolone 17a,21-methylorthovalerate was converted quantitatively iato prednisolone 17-valerate, which is a very active antiinflammatory agent (89). The iatermediate ortho esters also are active. Thus, 17a,21-(l -methoxy)-pentyhdenedioxy-l,4-pregnadiene-liP-ol-3,20-dione [(96), R = CH3, R = C Hg] is at least 70 times more potent than prednisolone (89). The above conversions... 

Research conducted by Simons using antiglucocorticoids, including compounds which covalentiy bind to the GR (124), eg, dexamethasone 21-mesylate, has better defined the stmcture and function of the GR. Spiro C-17 oxetanes have shown potent antiglucocorticoid activity in whole cell systems (125,126).
